Call for Spring 2025 Resolutions 

(July 2024) Are you concerned about a practice or clinical issue or have an idea you would like to suggest? If so, you might consider submitting a resolution to your Governor or chapter council.  

Initiating a resolution provides 바카라 사리트 members an opportunity to focus attention at the 바카라 사리트 national level on a particular issue or topic that concerns them. Participating in the Board of Governors resolutions process provides the 바카라 사리트 grassroots member a voice and allows you to shape College policy that impacts the practice of internal medicine.  

Not sure how to begin drafting a resolution? Researching the College's position on an issue can give you a start. The 바카라 사리트 Board of Governors Resolutions Guide for 바카라 사리트 Members is available to download and will help, too. The Guide was created to provide members a short overview of the resolutions process essentials and highlights critical 바카라 사리트 online resources you must use.  

Once drafted, members must submit resolutions to their Governor and/or chapter council. Chapter council approval is required to move resolutions forward to 바카라 사리트 national. Although not official 바카라 사리트 policy, a resolution becomes property of the chapter once the chapter council approves forwarding it to national. If effecting change interests you, the deadline for submitting new resolutions to be heard at the Spring 2025 Board of Governors Meeting is September 27, 2024

Share your good idea with us. Draft a resolution. 


Happy Anniversary to our Chapter Members!

2024 John Tooker Evergreen Awards

(April 2024) The John Tooker Evergreen Awards Program provides opportunities to recognize the valuable contributions of 바카라 사리트 Chapters as they strive to enrich, educate, and engage membership. In 2024, 바카라 사리트 recognized ten winning chapters. Our Chapter received the 2024 John Tooker Evergreen Award for our initiative, Laureate Society Fellowship Program  .

Point-of-Care Ultrasound Webinar Series  

The point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) webinar series was created to increase the availability of quality, desired, educational offerings for our Chapter. A POCUS Education Council was appointed to guide this work, which in-turn provided unique leadership opportunities for diverse early career physicians and trainees. The webinars occurred monthly to address diverse aspects of POCUS and bring in internationally known speakers to the forum. It has also helped the province unite in preparation for our merger with Manitoba and Saskatchewan, at which time, POCUS and educational experts in those provinces will be invited to join in this work. 

For more information on the John Tooker Evergreen Awards, contact Dana Acord.
